Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
There's simple, and then there's simplistic. Bestselling author Siegel (Love, Medicine and Miracles), a retired doctor who pioneered alternative cancer therapies in the 1970s, offers a wellness manual for mind, body and spirit. This book combines 20 short "coaching tips," suggesting the vocabulary of life coaching, providing principles ("do what you fear," "flex your creative muscles") that are learned through workout-type "exercises" that don't require a whole lot of work: pet a furry animal, take a relaxing bath. What's not to like about a doctor who prescribes chocolate as a body-and-soul refresher? (Though he does say not to overdo it.) The concept is clear; unfortunately, a self-help formula is showing through. Siegel's years of experience with undoubtedly extraordinary people and stories don't come through in these bromides. He offers a laundry list of undeniably good things to do, but many readers may already be spending time in nature, gardening or volunteering in their community, as he suggests. There's nothing fresh. Siegel fans may welcome the return of the good doctor's humorous, reassuring, distinctive voice. Those who don't know him should start elsewhere in his helpful body of work. This book provides a really low-impact workout for self-help beginners. (Sept.)

Product Description
In this follow-up to 365 Prescriptions for the Soul, Dr. Bernie Siegel uses his trademark humor and insight to guide readers toward self-healing and an inspired life. He presents himself as a workout coach, providing a coach’s wisdom and stressing the coach’s mantra of practice, practice, practice. Each chapter consists of a coaching tip (where he explains the chapter’s teaching) followed by four or five exercises designed to bring the teaching directly into the reader’s life. The exercises are all short and easy to apply. Each of the 20 chapters covers a different topic, such as overcoming obstacles, creating a positive mental attitude, building a stronger spiritual foundation, and cultivating a sense of empowerment. Throughout the book, as always, Dr. Siegel emphasizes a proactive approach to self-healing. An ideal gift for friends and loved ones, 101 Exercises for the Soul shows how anyone can infuse their life with love and well-being.
